WWII German Opel Blitz Fuel Tanker (Basic Version) at 1-56 scale

This listing sees one of the first models I created with the encouragement of M Bergman (NZ).  Aware that the Opel Blitz truck had been done by many people I wanted to offer a variant that at that time (August 2020) did not exist. Something unique to offer as part of the Printed Ready to paint Gardenshedprinting range on Ebay. Given the shape of the fuel tanks and the carriage work I decided that a multi part model, printed where possible flat to the bed (nod to Deweycat Productions who thinks very carefully about the printing aspect of models) would be the best approach. This listing offers the basic version of my work giving you a practical kit based German Fuel Tanker of WWII.

German Opel Blitz Fuel Tanker WWII (Basic Version) Intended to be printed in PLA but I have personally printed this model in resin as well. You will need to consider how you orientate parts and where you place the supports.

The models consists of the following files:

Main cab/chassis

Front Wheel

Rear Double Wheel

Locker section nearest to the cab

Support mount for the Fuel Bowser

Fuel Bowser

Top hatch to close bowser

Rear Locker hold the pumping gear

Coiled Fuel Hose

At 1/56 scale the model is approximately 109mm long, 38mm wide and 46mm high. Models in the attached photos were printed at a 0.1mm layer height and a speed of 40 on an Ender 3

Photos of the painted vehicle do include so parts from the advanced kit.

I will in due course be releasing an Advanced Model which has stowage draws, the option to have doors open, interior detail on the pumping locker, exterior access ladders to the top hatch on the bowser. This model though will need some parts printed in resin to be a viable kit.
